        <p>Do you know that about 2000 names were written down and prayed over on Sunday at North Rock Hill? Parents,
        siblings, neighbors, co-workers, classmates, teammates… men, women, and children who do not know Christ that we
        desperately want to see come to know Him. While we cannot save anyone, God has perfectly positioned you and me
        in relationships where He will use us and our story to reach others. He truly has saved us to send us!</p>

        <figure class="center">

        <p>Think about this… right now, God is at work in the heart and life of every name on your Share Card. And He
        has invited you and me to join Him in what He is doing in their lives. He wants to use you to impact their lives
        and lead them to Him! Here are three ways God can use you:</p>

        <ol>

            <li><p><strong>Pray for them BY NAME everyday</strong><br> Pray that God would lovingly break into their
            lives with His gospel of grace and renewal.</p> </li>

            <li><p><strong>Connect with them</strong><br> Invest in the relationship by showing care and hospitality. Go
            out to lunch or for a cup of coffee, invite them into your home for a meal, or attend a sporting event
            together. Constantly look for and leverage opportunities to tangibly show them you care.</p> </li>

            <li><p><strong>Share your grace story</strong><br> One of the greatest evidences of the gospel’s
            transforming power is your own story. Share how God rescued you and how He is at work in your life now.</p>
            </li>

        </ol>

        <p>The potential impact is really incredible. I am praying that we all would have multiple opportunities to
        connect at a deep level and share the gospel with every person on our Share Cards. And, I am praying that God
        will answer our prayers as we pray for each person BY NAME everyday… that many would trust Jesus as Savior and
        be transformed by His power and grace!</p>

        <p>This Sunday will be a lot of fun as we continue the GamePlan series. Wear your gear for your favorite team as
        we talk about what it means to be one team with one mission.</p>

        <p>I’m proud of you, church! It’s an honor to be on mission with you. I can’t wait to see what God will do in
        the days ahead.</p>

        <p>Until All Hear,<br> Jay</p>
